Hearty northern people love a hearty stout beer. We've teamed up wtih Yukon's famous Midnight Sun Coffee Roaster to create this special blend. Originally developed for "Bean Queen" Zola Dore in a small batch kettle system by Yukoner Mitt Stehelin, we've retained the artisan qualities of this unique, unfiltered brew. The robust taste of this hearty stout starts with the smooth glide of real espresso and finishes with a dry chocolatey malt flavour. Why the big bottle? You'll love it so much, you'll want to share it with a friend, or not!

"This is a typical stout. It pours a dark brown, almost black with almost no head. The aroma is definitely coffee with some roasted malt backing it up. The flavour was very strong, again a coffee flavour up front with some licorice tones on the end"

"Pours wtih a dark brown to black body toped by a light brown, medium thick head with a good amount of lacing. It’s slightly sweet and roasty wtih nice coffee notes and a touch of bitterness. Full bodied, smooth and a touch dry."

"absolutely great beer...except for one thing... personally i think its a bit too strong with the expresso. ok moving on... pours black as night with a creamy tan head that lasted and had good lace. smell of expresso, roasted malts, smoke, coffee. taste is great, if the expresso was cut back (just a lil bit mind you) it would be one of the top beers. still non the less a great brew!"

[4] Review by pootz from between Calgary and Waterloo, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (4/1/2006 11:32:13 AM)
"Purchased in the 1 liter bottle with ceramic stopper/wire bail. Poured an impressive deep dark opaque cola color that defies light to pass through the glass. Rich tan cap that lasts and lasts. Aromas of sweet caramel malts, cocoa, fresh cappuccino and spices. Starts silky and sweet then builds to an oily mouth feel where the hop bitters and chunky cocoa-coffee tastes overpower the sweet malts. The finish is glorious....dry with lingering coffee/chocolate-dry after taste...then the warming feel of the 6.2%ABV...a wonderful stout...and I'm not partial to stouts.... keep it cellared for cold winter nights. Possibly the best flavored stout in Canada and certainly one of the best in North America.....I'd stack it against alesmith speedway any day.

[5] Review by mmmmBeer from Edmonton, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (3/10/2006 12:51:42 PM)
"Yummy!! Just as good as I remembered. Beer poured black with a dark brown head. The thing that threw me off about this beer is it had a very dirt like smell, high quality dirt mind you none of that normal garden stuff but high quality compost. There was also a strong coffee smell but that wasn't unexpected. On to the first sweg........ holy silky smooth Batman, this stuff is thick and creamy very soft feeling, it feels like my mouth has been upholstered in velvet. The taste hits you with a double barel blast of coffee and I'm detecting a strawberry cream in the back ground (Beerchronic disagrees with me) very full flavor. Me likes this beer a lot.
